Stocks opened at record highs Wednesday amid optimism on the trade front and a stronger-than-expected U.S. economy.
All three of the major averages followed through on the gains overseas, which developed after President Trump, on Tuesday, told reporters that the U.S. and China are "in the final throes" of reaching a trade deal.
U.S. markets also received support from the second reading of third-quarter gross domestic product showed the U.S. economy expanded at a 2.1 percent annualized rate, up from the initial reading showing 1.9 percent growth. Durable goods orders also impressed, rising 0.6 percent in October. Economists were expecting a 0.8 percent decline.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened at a record high before turning slightly lower. Tuesday's record close was the Dow's 100th under Trump.
